The WS1040 stores up to 1,800 frequencies and lets you search for
nearby frequency transmissions and automatically jump to a found
transmission. Plus, it lets you hear storm reports and more before they
are broadcast on TV or radio.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: Only for use with Windows Operating System
FEATURES
Alert LED
– Programmable multi-color LED can be
configured to illuminate or flash when certain objects are active. Eight
user-defined colors can be specified from thousands of possible
combinations.
Audible Alarms
– Programmable audible alarms can be
configured to sound when certain Scannable Objects are active. Can be
used in conjunction with, or separately from, the Alert LED described
above.
Automatic Adaptive Digital Tracking
– When monitoring
P25 digital systems, instantly adapts the digital decoder to the digital
modulation format of the transmitted signal, then analyzes the signal
over 50 times each second and adapts to any subtle changes caused by
multipath or fading. No cumbersome manual adjustments are required.
Backlit Liquid Crystal Display
– Easy to read and program data even in low light situations.
Data Cloning
– Allows transfer of the programmed data to another WS1010 scanner.
Digital AGC
– Instantly compensates for low user audio levels that are common on digital systems.
Flexible Antenna with BNC Connector
– Provides
reception of strong local signals. Also connect an external antenna for
improved reception of distant or weak signals.
Free-Form Memory Organization
– Allocation of memory
dynamically and efficiently as it is needed. This differs from low cost
and older scanners that had memory organized in rigid and wasteful
memory banks.
High Speed PC Interface
– Use a USB Scanner programming
cable for full duplex mode at 6 times the speed of previous scanner
models for PC transfer and 8 times the speed of previous models for
radio to radio cloning. High speed special USB to scanner programming
cable included. Clones with another WS1040 handheld or with another
WS1065 desktop/mobile scanner.
Key Lock
– Lock the scanner’s keys to help prevent accidentally changing the scanner’s programming.
Lock-out Function
– Skip over specified channels or frequencies when scanning or searching.
LTR Home Repeater AutoMove
– Takes the guesswork out of
programming LTR trunking systems when the home repeater order is not
known. Enter the LTR system frequencies in any order, and the WS-1040
will automatically move the frequencies to the proper home repeater
slots as transmissions are received on the system.
Memory Backup
– Frequencies remain stored in memory for an extended time even without batteries.
Menu Driven Programming with Context Sensitive Help
– Each menu item provides a few lines of help text that provide assistance with programming and using the scanner.
Multi-System Trunking
– Scans most common trunked radio
system signaling formats, including Motorola, EDACS, LTR and P25
trunked radio networks. Both talkgroup and individual call monitoring
are supported.
Object Oriented User Interface
– Exclusive to Whistler,
features common data entry, browsing and control methods are used for
every scannable object. All are programmed and stored in the same way.
P25 NAC Functionality
– P25 Network Access Code (NAC)
is used to provide selective squelch operation on conventional digital
channels. Your WS1040 will detect the NAC that is being used on a P25
conventional digital channel, and allow you to program NAC codes to
block transmissions that do not have a matching NAC, including analog
traffic on the same frequency.
PC programmable
– allows users to backup data, update database and program scanner directly from a PC. (BuTel ARC500 software required)
Priority Channel – set the scanner to check one channel every two seconds while scanning.
Real-time Signal Strength Indicator
– Shows relative strength of received signals.
SAME and All Hazards Weather Alerting
– Displays the weather event and sounds an alert for a specific county or counties of your choice.
Scan Delay
– Delays scanning for two seconds before moving to another channel in order to hear replies.
Scan List
– Functionality allows you to arrange, group and scan objects according to your preference.
Skywarn Storm Spotter Functionality
– Provides instant
access to frequencies used by storm spotter networks. Monitor storm
conditions as they occur, and become aware of dangerous conditions
before the media or emergency management officials are able to announce
them to the general public.
Spectrum Sweeper
– Quickly sweeps the scanner’s
frequency ranges for transmissions from nearby sources. Lock out found
frequencies and continue searching in the same band.
Subaudible Squelch Decoder
– CTCSS and DCS subaudible
squelch coding is processed by the same powerful DSP chip that is used
for P25 digital decoding. Provides fast and reliable decoding of
subaudible squelch signaling with squelch tail elimination.
Three Power Options
– Power the scanner using batteries
(rechargeable or non-rechargeable), external AC power (using supplied
AC adapter), or DC power (using a DC adapter, not supplied).
Tune
– Find new and unlisted frequencies starting from a specified frequency.
V-Scanner Technology
– Allows you to save complete
radio configurations within the radio, for recall into main memory as
needed in the field. Twenty one V-Scanner Folders are provided, each
capable of storing over 1,800 objects. Total memory capacity of main
memory combined with V-Scanners is over 37,800 objects.
